Didn’t like the Andromeda S a lot. Felt like the treble extension was reduced. Vocals are more forward though.

I see . Was considering buying one . After all the positive reviews from many headfiers including Jude . I’ve personally demoed legend x and found the bass overpowering . I can’t even listen to my custom bravado anymore , makes every music sound too bassy . Have you ever heard the IBasso ito3 ?. I’m looking for a sound like that but with better mids and resolution . The mids on the it03 makes it sound hollow .Sounds too thick and overbearing in the lower mids (especially male vocals). Imaging wasn’t the best either tbh. Soundstage was average.
These ranking lists are more like “Rank your personal preferences list” and a big criteria for my tastes is massive soundstage, imaging, detail and sub-bass extension/quantity. I overall lean more towards a warm neutral sound signature also. So I would take it as a fine grain of salt.

If you like your Clear, I think you would like the EX1000 or 7550. They’re kind of cut from the same cloth. Neutral tight imaging without sounding too dry.
Might want to look into the Andromeda, especially the S. They both have very good extension (especially treble, sub-bass is average in quantity but good quality) and also very prominent and full mids as well. It’s actually quite a feat to do - having a big soundstage while having slightly forward mids. Usually mids are hallowed so the voices sit further back to give the image and feel of a wide soundstage.
A couple of questions re the Zeus and Massdrop.
Will they ship internationally and how long does a drop typically last? February sounds just about perfect to make a purchase.
I am currently using the Sennheiser IE800 (original) which ain’t half bloody bad after my initial poor experience. But they are missing something... Midrange support namely, but the strong bass could use just a little more beefing up, I cannae quite put my finger on it.
I’m looking for something that has the Noble K10’s detail and midrange, Sennheiser IE800s’ treble extension and the Shure SE846s’ or Campfire Vega’s bass; if such a thing exists lol.
@Colors and to all those who enquired about my Noble K10s: apologies I never responded to you. At the time I was going through some really heavy stuff. No excuse, wrong threat, etc, I know.

Since you have both, do you think they’re different enough that it’s worth getting both the 7550 and ex1000? Or would you suggest getting, say, the ex1000 & something else?
I actually like the 7550 more than the EX1000 . The vocals on it are bumped up a bit and there’s less brightness in the treble.
However, the EX1000 has the better soundstage and commanding bass though. And much superior imaging.
Yes, I’d say it’s worth it to get both. They’re different enough that I like to rotate between them. EX1000 is probably closer to the Clear though in terms of SQ.
